- The Danggui-Baishao herb pair (DB) is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat hepatic fibrosis (HF), but its effectiveness and mechanism of action are not fully understood.
- This study aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms and targets of DB in treating HF by analyzing its components and their effects in a rat model.
- Results showed that DB significantly improved liver function and reduced inflammation and fibrosis indicators by modulating specific signaling pathways, with several key beneficial compounds identified in the process.
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a nonspecific chronic inflammatory lung disease with no known cure. Codonopsis Radix (CR) has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential anti-inflammatory effects of different CR varieties on COPD mice.

Despite affecting approximately 2% of the global population, there has been no previous bibliometric analysis specifically focusing on AA treatment that can guide researchers in exploring promising treatment options and directing future research efforts.
Summary: This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of AA treatment research, encompassing publications from 2003 to 2022.
In China, Radix (CR) is frequently consumed both as food and medicine. Here, a comprehensive strategy based on fingerprinting and chemometric approaches was created to explore the influence of origins, storage time and kneading processing on the quality of CR. Firstly, high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection was used to obtain the fingerprints of 35 batches of CR from six different origins and 33 batches of CR from varying storage times or kneading procedures.
